3-antlered town deer

[OntarioHunter]

We did a cap mount moose with split beam a while back. He had some kind of serious head trauma while the antlers were developing. A piece of tree branch was encased in antler bone between the split beams. Note the brow tine/palm growing out backwards and also badly deformed skull. That bull had a serious headache at one point. A weird one for sure. Mounting it required some thinking outside the box.

Chased this guy around in Kansas with the bow a few years ago. Had one trail cam pic and saw him twice in daylight . Looked way cooler in the flesh but could never get in bow range . The extra beam made is rack look huge lol

I forgot about this one. Not very good quality video, but I saw this deer in person and almost shot him. He looked like he had a LOT of stuff on his head. Got this video on camera later. Shows that he has an "extra beam" which was another deer's entire antler that broke off and got wedged between this one's head and antler.

Saw this buck again today. The whole house went nuts. My kids were running down the street naked to get a better look. This deer is getting out of control.

Really cool, we have a bunch living in Anaconda some very nice bucks too.

I’ve only seen this guy once since he hardened up. Coincidentally, my wife just sent me a pic of him this morning on her way to hike. Here are a couple more, post velvet. These town deer have it made. Enough food, water, tail, and refuge to live long, happy lives as long as they don’t mind the gawkers.

Howdy,

The name of this abnormality in antler development is called the "Chernobyl Effect".

I hear the city is going to start trapping and killing again soon. Would be a shame for a buck like him to go that way.
